Hug pillow/cushion
Am assuming it is similar to one of Ikea's best sellers, the FAMNIG HJÄRTA which is a cushion in the shape of a heart with arms on. Pillow for US, cushion for Europe?

I'd never seen these before but here's one of many:
" Laissez les bras de Morphée vous enlacer...
Il ne ronfle pas et vous tient toute la nuit blottie contre lui : voici enfin l'homme de vos rêves !
Ce coussin deviendra rapidement votre compagnon préféré pour vos siestes et pour aller dormir."
